...and the glass came too! I do love that aspect of Belgian boozing.

Kid 1 was at a birthday party so took the opportunity to support a local business - Toga Man from the BBC, very nice beer with quite a long bitter finish for a 4.2%er - good stuff!

Proper pint glass, passes the Albert Tatlock test that.

So tonight's offerings were picked from the co-op were I was sent for some bread to accompany dinner. Got the last proper loaf but did fail to notice it was a jalapeno and cheese one, probably why it was still on the shelf. I thought it was nice.

That co-op's own is quite nice.

Budweiser Dark in Javornik in the Czech Republic last week.

Off work this week so the 'no beer on school night' rule doesn't count. Thought I was buying Punk IPA but it turned out to be Dead Pony Club, nice beer, good hoppy nose and taste, surprisingly it's only a 3.8% beer.

+1 on that...I was expecting something that kicked like a mule!

They were selling that stuff in the pub tonight - Punk IPA, I mean, on tap. Is it keg? I didn't want to risk it.
I had 4 pints of this instead - local brewery and a nice medium hoppy beer. Proper session ale.

Yep. It's keg.

Yep. It's keg.

It won't be half as good, I road-tested a Hook Norton beer a while ago; Flagship, in bottle, cask and keg, keg was easily 3rd out of 3. I understand why they're doing it, not every pub can flog a barrel full of 'craft' beer quick enough but if there's a non-keg I'd rather that instead, unless it's shite such as that John Smith's 'smoothflow' and the like.

Saison Dupont in non-matching glass. This is a lovely beer - very much the benchmark saison. Perfect for a sunny spring evening.

Handsome glass!
